Cream of Onion Soup with Cranberry-Walnut Garnish - One Person Recipe

Cream of Onion is kind of an old-fashioned soup that isn't often seen nowadays, but makes perfect sense when you consider that most soups get their flavor from onions. The optional garnish adds some additional taste and texture, pairing well with the slightly sweet flavor of the onions and milk.

In a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter, then add the onions and water. Let the onions cook till softened.

Add the flour and bouillon and stir quickly to combine. Pour in the milk all at once, and stir continuously till thickened and bubbly.

Add the seasonings and Worcestershire sauce and combine well.

Blend the soup till nearly smooth -- you can either transfer the soup to a blender or food processor for this, or you can blend it with a hand blender. There should be no large chunks of onion remaining.

Transfer to a serving bowl, and garnish with the cranberries and walnuts.

Ingredient Warning

Some of these recipes were created in the UK; the rest were created in the US. This sometimes causes discrepancies in the qualities of ingredients (e.g. the cayenne pepper sold in the UK is milder than the US variety) or in portions (e.g. tuna sold in 6-ounce cans versus 5-ounce cans.) Posts tagged "Scotland" are UK-created recipes.
